Darwin® RadioFrequency Skin Tightening

Radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening is a non-invasive procedure, it is the process of applying heat to your skin to help it produce new collagen fibers. The procedure offered at Perfection Cosmetic Clinic in Toronto, involves using a radiofrequency device which emits low-frequency electromagnetic energy waves, heating the dermis layer of your skin. The heat created through the application of energy waves will begin to heat up and induce collagen and elastin production in the deep layers of your skin. Collagen and elastin are integral parts to the structure and make-up of your skin, these vital proteins are what supports the strength and firmness of your skin. As we age, it is normal to see the levels of these proteins diminish overtime, which is what causes many signs of aging that we experience. The process of RF skin tightening induces the natural production of collagen and increased cell turnover which can lead to thicker and firmer skin overtime. RF skin tightening will work to rejuvenate your skin, prompting healthier, more youthful looking skin.

Non-surgical skin improving procedures continue to increase in popularity everyday. These types of procedures such as skin tightening through energy waves, work on all genders and skin types and tones. Radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening is extremely safe due to the non-invasive nature of the procedure as well as having a very low risk of skin discoloration. Radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening is most effective with earlier signs of aging, individuals who are beginning to experience fine lines, dullness, and loosening skin will see much improvement. For more mature skin with more severe sagging and deeper set wrinkles may benefit from an alternative treatment.

Radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening harnesses your body’s natural healing capabilities through inducing collagen regrowth and formation. Once the collagen is broken up with the heated energy application, it begins to regenerate stronger, newer collagen which gives the tightening effect to the targeted areas. This is a gradual process, the amount of sessions needed to see results can vary per patient. Your natural skin type and how severe the area being treated is, will determine how many sessions are necessary to see the desired results. The majority of individuals need anywhere from 3-6 sessions to see the best results. Full results generally take 2-6 months to appear while the body takes time to regenerate elastin and collagen. It is possible to experience some tenderness, redness, and warmth at the treated area. This should resolve itself within the next 48 hours after your treatment, up to a week depending on your healing capabilities. Any after effects are usually mild in nature and should not interrupt your regular activities.

The most prevalent protein in your body is collagen. It makes up roughly 30% of the total protein in your body. The main component of your body's tendons, muscles, ligaments, skin, and other connective tissues is collagen. It’s also found in your blood vessels, organs and intestinal lining. The main purpose of collagen is to strengthen and support throughout your body, this includes cell growth, structure and elasticity in your skin.
